  1. I am a TPB-only player for now. Out of curiosity, is it easier to do TPB with Cpen or Jpen?

    Is it more awkward to perform the drive for JPEN since they seem more head-heavy? CPEN players like Toshio Tasaki and Kaii Yoshida have no issue using it, but players like Chiang Peng Lung and Ryu Seung Min would rather punch.
  2. Sapphire Wood 1 ply JPEN

    Has anyone tried it? according to a website the blade is off (megaspin)
  3. I am a TPB-only player for now. Out of curiosity, is it easier to do TPB with Cpen or Jpen?

    TPB is just fun to use and I wonder if it is better for traditional penholders to play CPEN or JPEN. I've seen CPEN use it more and more reliably (Toshio Tasaki, Kaii Yoshida, etc), and JPEN players mostly use the push and pivot to forehand (Ryu Seung Min, Chiang Peng Lung, Lee Jung Woo, etc)...
  4. Sapphire Wood 1 ply JPEN

    I was scrolling around online and found this blade: "Xiom MUV Prospeed - Japanese Penhold Monoblade," a 1-ply JPEN in Sapphire - Lightweight Wood. I've only seen 1-plys in Ayous and Hinoki. Has anyone tried this? I'm curious of how this compares to hinoki or how the feeling is etc?
  5. I am Chinese penhold blades specialist.

    I play (mostly) 1 sided chinese penhold but still have rubber on back, I was experimenting with a few setups but found most too light for me. The one I am currently using is a 729 premade which weighs ~193g. My old setup was neottec katana (red) + sanwei 75 outer (75g) + Palio AK47, which was...
  6. Who is currently the Highest-ranked JPEN player?

    Just out of curiousity.
  7. Forehand rubber: Hard, Chinese, Fairly tacky, cheap (~20 on aliexpress)

    I've been looking at DOUBLE FISH VORTEX FC218 and it seems pretty good though there aren't a lot of reviews online. Are DHS, 729, yinhe any good?
  8. Forehand rubber: Hard, Chinese, Fairly tacky, cheap (~20 on aliexpress)

    Recently tried the Palio AK47 Blue on my FH with my Sanwei 75 alc cs and it seemed to me to be too fast. I'm planning on going back to the type of tacky Chinese rubbers I used to use. The 729 Aurora suited me well. Do you guys have in mind something similar but maybe hard sponge, tacky, cheap...
  9. Yinhe euro rubber compared

    Yeah I know. I'm just looking for something that fits with my RPB. The Palio AK is fair enough for my forehand but backhand it feels weird.
  10. Yinhe euro rubber compared

    Hmmm ok. Thanks. Is the Mercury III euro faster or the Mars III euro?
  11. Yinhe euro rubber compared

    I've never tried it but I've heard of TT maximum (they have a YT channel and review a load of rubbers) they also have a webstore in Europe.
  12. Yinhe euro rubber compared

    Is Mars 3 similar in speed to Palio AK47 blue? or much slower? Thats pretty much the only Tensor I've used other than Stiga pro carbon. I'm planning to use something like that for RPB
  13. Yinhe euro rubber compared

    My phrasing is bad. I meant compared to other III Euros (Yinhe Mercury III euro, Yinhe Mars III euro, Yinhe Jupiter III euro), but thanks for the information I was gonna search something like that up anyway.

  16. Yinhe euro rubber compared

    Whats the speed, spin, forgiveness compared?
  17. How is the women's game different from men?

    I think women's games have more variety since they don't generate as much power as guys. For example, pips are more common.
  18. Americans, do you still buy equipment from Aliexpress?

    A month ago, I ordered an DHS skyline tg3 NEO and they refused to ship it due to tariffs. It never left china but they refunded us at least.
  19. Yinhe euro rubber compared

    How do the yinhe "____ iii euro" rubbers compare with each other? For example, Yinhe Mercury III euro, Yinhe Mars III euro, Yinhe Jupiter III euro. Does anyone know how their speed, spin, forgiveness compare?
  20. RPB rubbers for ~$20

    The Neottec Katana seems pretty decent. I'll check it out. What's the cool pendant thing in your pfp?
